How to Choose the Best Wedding Videographer in Sydney

Your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life, and capturing it in a way that truly reflects your love story is essential. With so many talented wedding videographers in Sydney, how do you find the perfect one for you? If you’re looking for a candid, natural, and cinematic style, here’s a guide to help you choose the best wedding videographer for your big day.

1. Define Your Style

Every videographer has their own approach, so understanding what style speaks to you is key. At Sunny Siu Films, we specialize in a candid, storytelling approach, capturing genuine emotions and unscripted moments that make your wedding day unique. Rather than staged shots, we focus on the laughter, tears, and little details that truly matter.

2. Check Their Portfolio

A great wedding videographer should have a portfolio that reflects their expertise and style. Watch multiple wedding films to see if their work resonates with you. Do their videos feel natural and immersive? Do they tell a compelling love story? At Sunny Siu Films, we craft cinematic wedding films that feel personal and timeless, ensuring every couple’s story is beautifully told.

3. Read Client Reviews

Reviews and testimonials from past couples can give you insight into what it’s like to work with a videographer. Look for feedback on their professionalism, communication, and ability to capture special moments. Our couples often praise Sunny Siu Films for our unobtrusive presence, making them feel comfortable while filming their big day.

4. Understand Their Approach

Some videographers direct a lot, while others take a more observational approach. If you prefer a natural, documentary-style video where moments unfold organically, then a candid videography style like ours might be the perfect fit. We focus on capturing the day as it happens, so your wedding film feels authentic and heartfelt.

5. Discuss Packages and Pricing

Wedding videography is an investment, so be sure to discuss pricing, packages, and what’s included. Whether you’re looking for full-day coverage, highlight reels, or a feature film, make sure the package aligns with your vision. At Sunny Siu Films, we offer flexible packages tailored to your needs.

6. Meet Your Videographer

Your wedding videographer will be with you throughout the day, so it’s important to choose someone you feel comfortable with. We believe in building a genuine connection with our couples to ensure a relaxed and enjoyable experience. A good rapport leads to a more natural and emotional wedding film.

7. Ensure They Work Well with Your Photographer

Your videographer and photographer should work seamlessly together. Since both are capturing your wedding day, their styles and approach should complement each other. At Sunny Siu Films, we collaborate effortlessly with photographers to ensure every special moment is documented beautifully.

8. Book Early!

Top wedding videographers get booked months (or even years) in advance. If you’ve found a videographer whose work you love, don’t wait too long to secure your date!

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right wedding videographer in Sydney is about more than just filming your day—it’s about preserving the emotions, the atmosphere, and the love you share. If you’re looking for a candid, cinematic, and heartfelt wedding film, Sunny Siu Films would love to be part of your special day.

Zoom Wedding Live Stream (April 2023)

Wireless setup for a zoom live stream

Monitoring the live stream

I did a Zoom wedding live back in early April 2023. The wedding ceremony started at 1:30pm, I arrived at the wedding venue at about 12pm and commenced setting up. Set up was done smoothly and everything was ready to go at about 1pm. The 4G reception was really poor, luckily I met the couple a week before the event at the venue, whilest I could run an internet speed test on the spot to realise this issue. My great appreciation to the church which let me use their wifi internet on the day.

Apart from the live stream, I was requested if I could take some images during the ring ceremony and certificate signing, of course I can. I took some images during those formalities as well as few group photos outside the church. I was so pleased I could use my photography skills.

There was about 70 people joined the Zoom meeting who were from different places overseas and interstates, I set up the couple as a co-host so that they could manage the meeting when they had a chat with their family and friends after the wedding ceremony.

Please shout out if you wish to have your live stream on Zoom or YouTube, I am more than happy to help out.

Gunner's Barracks wedding live stream

I streamed a wedding in one of my favourite wedding at Gunner’s Barrack a couple of weeks ago. I did not know why I felt quite nervous about this live stream, not just because I had to film this wedding at the same time, but also about the internet connectivity, weather, lighting etc.

I was fortunate enough filming another wedding a day before this live stream, therefore I had a chance to think about where I put myself and most importantly - internet connection. Every time I scouted the venue I would use a mobile app to check the speed of internet. I was relieved I could get really good speed at Gunners, one box ticked.

On the day I reached the venue 2 hours prior to set up my gear. I connected my own microphone on celebrant’s hand held microphone, set up 3 tripods and one gimbal. About 20 minutes before the live stream kicked off, I was so happy everything went smoothly. After the wedding ceremony, the couple received some positive feedback from their family and friends overseas straight away. I was so relieved and satisfied.

In the future, if you need wedding live stream at Gunners Barrack, please feel free to contact me.

Centennial Parklands Weddings | Videography | Photography | Live stream

I am very pleased to share with you this beautiful wedding of Chai and Rahul. It was taken place at Centennial Parklands back in November 2021.

I appreciated the trust from this beautiful couple for booking a customised package of videography plus photography as well as live stream.

The wedding was a mix of Indian traditional and civilised. On the day 4 cameras were used to cover the entire wedding. The live stream went smoothly owing to the super fast internet connection speed. Since the parkland did not provide power, I had to bring a portable power supply to power up the broadcasting gear.

I am thrilled to share with you the highlight of the wedding.

Sydney Indian wedding live stream on YouTube

In the past weekend I and my team had a two days Indian wedding live stream assignment. It was very challenging as we broadcasted over 4 hours each night, few things we needed to be aware of, internet speed, battery level of each equipment, how to work along with other wedding videographers and photographers.

At the first night everything went really well and smooth. However the second we faced an issue of slow internet speed, fortunately we were warned by another live stream professional in that morning, before arriving the venue I went to purchase a lan cable with 50 metre of length so I could be able to put our modem outside the reception hall (see photos). Day 2 of live stream was successfully broadcast to YouTube with this lan cable.

I stop here and would just like to share the comments received from the bride and groom two days after their big day.

Hey Sunny!

I just wanted to thank you so much for the incredible live stream you did for the past 2 days - everyone from overseas is raving about how it looked like a movie! The quality and audio was stunning and I cant thank you enough for making those who couldnt make it feel like they were there in person 😊 I'll definitely be recommending you to all my family friends for their upcoming weddings! 

Love,

Haleem & Mithila
